Police warn residents after three break-ins over two days in Crandon Lakes

HAMPTON — State Police are warning Crandon Lakes residents to be cautious, especially over Fourth of July weekend, after three home break-ins were reported yesterday and today.

Captain Stephen Jones said two break-ins occurred Thursday and one occurred Wednesday in the lakeside community. He said a small number of items were taken from the homes.

Additional details about the specifics of those break-ins was not immediately available Thursday afternoon.

Jones said residents in that area should keep their eyes open for suspicious or unfamiliar vehicles and should write down the license plates and descriptions of the vehicles for State Police.

He recommended the residents watch each others homes, especially if a neighbor will be away for the holiday weekend, and keep all doors and windows closed and locked when you are not home. Lights should also be kept on a timer at night.

Persons with information about the break-ins are asked to call the Augusta barracks at 973-383-1514.
